How to Use the Polaroid Impulse AF Camera 

Dude I legit just bought this camera at a pawn ship for $3. Honestly couldn't even believe it. I. Stoked to start using it. Mines blue 😎

My dad just found one of these that’s been stored away in the garage for god knows how many years and I did not know what powered the camera was on the film itself, cool! Can’t wait to have fun with this thing!

Just bought this camera on marketplace for $40. Thanks so much for the video. I was trying to find out how to power it up and so I looked online and got your video. Very helpful. I bought a pack of film and just took a few photos. I love it! This reminds me of the camera my parents had when I was really little. Now I know why my Dad kept the film in the fridge.

my mom found one yesterday that my dad gifted her in the late 80s and gave it to me. just got some film today and it works so well, thought it was super cool!

I just found this in my dad’s garage and i didn’t know how it works, thanks mate for the help and keep going i liked the video ❤❤❤

This was my first camera I ever used and went through 300 bucks worth of film in one weekend at the age of 5

Thank you for guiding! I haven’t used my Polaroid Impulse Portrait for years and already forgot how to do it at all.

Love seeing new uploads!

Good to see you back Dan 😎

Just bought a non AF version cause it was a bit cheaper haha. Loved the video!

I have this camera but it’s not the autofocus version, I love it just film is super expensive

Just got this camera as a gift and I’m really hyped to use it thanks for the content man !

Thanks for this! I found a Polaroid Impulse in the back of a closet a couple years ago, and it's traveled with me but I haven't actually used it yet. Mine isn't the AF but this video really helped me get to know this piece of archaic technology (ha ha) before using it. Informational and straightforward!

Thanks for that intro. Just got mine from a friend who tossed it. I was wondering why it doesn't work anymore after it flashed once. Trying to find the battery case, haha. I didn't know it is powered by the film cartridge.

Thanks for this dude. I was looking into this exact model. Love Polaroid but want a mid range one.

Explained it neatly!! Thank you so much.

Nice review. I just found one on a flea market in Spain and can't wait to start using it. I'd like to clean it first though, but cannot get it open. Would you know how to take it apart by any chance?

Thanks for this video Dan. I was just gifted an Impulse yesterday. Cheers.

If you're going to buy the film in a place like Best Buy or Target on the side of the box they've stamped in the production date. Recently I've had good luck buying it from those locations.

I got the non AF version for 5€. Only drawback is that the pictures cost 20€ 😅

Great video! Great personal site! Thanks for your work!

Really great overview my man 🙌🏽

Got one of these yesterday but it’s the manual focus one. It powers up. I’m gonna use this one or one of my rainbow onesteps.

My flash won’t work on it anymore ,it quit and it’s not the film bc I bought colored film which is new and isn’t expired.Do you know what I should do bc I’m tired of wasting money on film?

thanks :) my inlaws just gave me one and it worked!

hey dan, do you know why mine is making a whirring sound when i insert a film cartridge in

Great video, I have a close-up too and I'm looking to get an Impulse AF to try the autofocus and viewfinder. Does anything flash when using the self-timer to indicate the photo is about to be taken?

Thanks. I'm writing a comic book and needed to research a camera like this. You showed me everything I need to know.

Would the shutter light turn on if the cartridge is empty but the battery is still good ?

Thank you, so helpful!

Where can I get 600 plus film....

Really nice video!!

MORE OF THESE!!!

thanks so much ,nice help

got one for $20 at a thrift store. cant wait!!

Дуже дякую за відеоогляд😀 Знайшов такий апарат у знайомого, тепер знаю як користуватись, лишилось тільки купити картридж😉

Are you sure half pressing does the autofocus? I thought that was done when it takes the picture, just like their 660 and 670 AF models

OKAY!!! I DO NOT WANT TO BREAK IT lol! My sonar auto focus on the left, isn't quite working. How do I get it to open up?

Will there be still a light indicator if it doesnt have a film inside?

And what if the battery is dead? Can I replace it somehow?

Thank you so much for the video. I was just searching for where to put the battery. 🤣

Hi. I just bought the non af version without know the before life and after i put the new films in the machine it start to shot all of the film even its have the closed flash. Can you help me what can cause this problem?

Muchas gracias

which is better polaroid sun 660 auto focus or impulse auto focus?

Are the color 600 film 16 instant photo compatible with this camera ?

can someone explain me what the middle part do that you can slide (bright not bright) ? I'm not a native speaker so i didn't really understood. Thanks!

Can you install a light shield frog tongue on the Impluse cameras?

my flash isn’t working. do you know how i could fix it?

How do I know if I’m getting the right film? Does all 600 type film have the battery power?

It looks like there is a seal on my AF part.... okay.... I'm good with it, I know how to get it done with lighting, and focusing. I just don't want to break a tab off.

What happens if the lens cover doesn’t swing out of the way completely

Found mine for $10!!!! Online they are over $100.

help… my red button doesn't turn green… what can i do?

Come smontare una polaroid impulse?

Found a prestige one looting an abandoned house. Traded it for crank

Do not believe OutKast! Don´t shake the film!

me realizing the tab i pulled off the cartridge was to help pull it back out🧍‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Buyed this on a street market for 2 €😂 Works like a charm

help… my red button doesn't turn green… what can i do?
